HIS EMINENCE ARCHBISHOP MAKARIOS
As an activity of our holy Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia, St Basils NSW/ACT,
has continued to rise to the challenge of serving our people, in their time of need,
with professionalism and integrity. St Basil’s recognises the importance of being
creative, in finding solutions and safe ways of providing a service whilst ensuring
vital channels of communication remain open for those who need them. This is in
addition to providing to the existing clientele and maintaining current services and
programs of a high standard for the Elderly.
Our strategic plan update will aim to address both our internal objectives which focus
on expanding our services, strengthening our care, and enhancing our workforce,
whilst building our presence in the local communities. All must be done through
further development, where our governance improves internally, and our awareness
of the changing external demands is always adapting to address the society we live
in. St. Basil’s will continue to strive for excellence with empowered and accountable
individuals who will remain compliant and go beyond their call.

                                                                                     5

CONTEXT CONT.
INTERNAL INFLUENCES
As stewards of St. Basil’s Homes NSW/ACT, it’s our collective responsibility to ensure we
adapt and respond to these changes head-on. The world around us is changing, and we are
on the path to respond to those changes. The major internal drivers are listed below.

01 WORKFORCE SHIFTS
We are continuing to optimise our workforce, to improve tenure and increase the St Basil’s
nurse bank. Creating an ideal place for work will reduce the risk across the industry of an
ageing workforce and high turnover.

02 COLLABORATIVE CULTURE
We need to continue to improve how we bring together our technology, buildings, care
and customer solutions, to create the best customer experience. Solving problems
collaboratively across the organisation, and facilities, will help to break silo’s.

03 PROACTIVE CULTURE
Being proactive in response to regulatory change, will provide opportunities to be more
strategic and effective in our actions. Reducing the reactive nature of regulatory response,
puts us in good stead to maximise our service promise to customers.

04 BALANCED WORK FOCUS
It is hard to see the future when our present is cloudy. Better balancing capacity and focus
of our workforce, will enable us to better capitalise our resource utilisation. This means we
can continue to effectively deliver our day-to-day work, whilst better delivering our strategy.

05 DIGITISATION
The industry culture is heavily paper-based. We are moving away from this, on the path
towards a digitally enabled way of working. Through digitising workflows, forms and
administration, we can maximise our efficiency.

WHY WE EXIST

12   Strategic Plan 2021–26
Saint Basil The Great
Saint Basil of Caesarea had a worldly career
studying theology and law, before he chose
to care for the poor and underprivileged. He
was known to be a man of vast learning and
constant activity, genuine eloquence and
immense charity.
St. Basil’s Homes NSW/ACT was born on the
back of this ethos. In our strategy update, we
are aiming to broaden our horizons by taking
a more liberal approach to care for the needy,
much like Saint Basil himself.

Our Purpose
                                                      At St Basil’s, we know that ageing is difficult.

OUR VALUES
Our Values are fundamental to the success of our organisation. These are our core ethics or
principles which we individually and collectively abide by, no matter what. They influence
and shape all that we do, how we carry ourselves day to day, and most importantly, how
we serve our customers and community.
Our Values have evolved with us as an organisation and have been amended with this
Strategic Plan to align with the quality care standards, our strategic focuses, and our
charitable ethos emphasising love, family, care and empathy. Together, they reflect the

RISING TO THE CHALLENGE

     together and work towards our collective goals, it is achievable.

     lives, and helping those in need.

34    Strategic Plan 2021–26
35
HOW WE OPERATE
We have a strong leadership team, facility leadership and Head Office – forming strong
expertise typically found in larger organisations. Our staff are on a journey with us,
they’re consistent, and on a mission. This ability to attract and retain top talent speaks
volumes to the ethos of St. Basil’s Homes NSW/ACT.
This strategy provides us with clear direction, to expand our services into adjacent
markets and opportunities, strengthen what we already do at the core of our business,
and enhance our workforce and community relations.
Everyone rolls their sleeves up and joins in at St. Basil’s, regardless of official role and
job description Executing on this strategy, will require flexible and adaptable thinking,
breaking down silos and a collective effort.
With that said, we will need to be accountable for delivery on an individual level. We
are clear on what we as individuals are required to do, and how that connects into
where we are going as an organisation.

       “COMING TOGETHER IS A BEGINNING,
        STAYING TOGETHER IS PROGRESS,
      AND WORKING TOGETHER IS SUCCESS.”

36   Strategic Plan 2021–26
ACCOUNTABILITY
To understand how well we are achieving our goals and objectives, we have a series of
Organisation Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) in place. We can use these to measure
our progress and monitor performance at the highest level.
These key metrics are important to our collective progress, as no one individual or project
would impact them, it will require a collective movement. These Organisational KPI’s will
drive decisions and actions at a macro and micro level. This means all individuals can link
their daily work in some way to these key progress trackers.
